I don't think your exhaust is doing it. It could be something in your Hondata S300 that you missed. What injectors are in there ? what turbo is this ? Garret ,Ebay ?

Are you missing the fire ring in your wastegate?? This really sounds like a wastegate issue to me. Can you feel exhaust out of the dumptube at idle?

Had the test pipe made yesterday but working late put the repair on hold until today. after pulling the exhaust and "gutted" cat off, I see it wasn't really gutted at all. I feel like such a chode for taking his word. Not that i looked at it as free upgrade, but at least thought I knew where it stands. After the test pull on open Downpipe realized it was causing everything when boost instantly went to about 10lbs before i let off for caution. Now to the Tuner in 2 weeks for 14lbs!

Thanks to Fabrik8 and all of you lending a hand!

To those who find this in search later: know your equipment for yourself! My lesson has been learned.
